The Buffalo Sabres will make their third stop on a six-game road trip on Monday, visiting the Calgary Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

Buffalo's road trip has gotten off to a nightmare start, with the team losing 5-2 to the Philadelphia Flyers and 4-1 to the Winnipeg Jets. Lindy Ruff's side lost only three of the previous nine games, so Buffalo's form has taken a turn for the worse.

Away from home, the Sabres haven't recorded a single regulation win this season. The team must be desperate to end a 14-year playoff drought, but as things stand, it is an uphill battle for them.

The Flames are also struggling to remain in the postseason race and have the same amount of points as Buffalo (26). Calgary is averaging a league-low 2.33 goals per game, and its goaltending has often struggled to compensate for the lack of scoring.

However, ahead of Monday's action, Ryan Huska's men have picked up some momentum. The Flames have won back-to-back games, allowing only one goal. It has given Calgary a chance to match its longest winning streak of the season in Monday's contest.

  2. The Flames have a 6-4-2 home record in 2025-26.

  4. Buffalo has won three of its last four trips to Calgary.

Our Buffalo Sabres vs Calgary Flames Prediction

These two have been among the worst teams in the league this season, with not much separating them in terms of quality. However, home-ice advantage could turn out to be the decisive factor on Monday.

While the Flames have dropped three of their last four home games in this matchup, Buffalo's road form has been incredibly poor in 2025-26. A shootout victory over the Minnesota Wild and an overtime triumph against the Detroit Red Wings mark the Sabres' only road wins this season. They have finished half of their 12 away outings with two or fewer goals scored.

Our prediction for Buffalo Sabres vs. Calgary Flames: Flames to win.
